How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. By late September, the light in Chambers' Green goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your residents
